Welcome to Week #80 at CASology, where the cue word is PURPLE. How fun is that? How do you feel about purple--love it? hate it? I had a good time with this challenge. I like purple, so I was like--bring it on--how many shades of purple can I get on my card?
I pulled out my stash of paint chips I had swiped from our local paint store way back when. I found one that had lots of shades of purple on it, and based my card around that. I cut the paint chip down to size and used it as a border on my card. I stamped my sentiment (from Bigger Blooms), ran my white panel through the Big Shot with the Picnic Plaid Impression plate, and then adhered two die cut Prim Poppy die cuts in Royal Velvet and Winter Wisteria. Popped my front panel up with dimensional adhesive, stuck on a few sequins, and I was done.
In case you are wanting to paint your house these colors--here are their Sherwin-Williams names, top to bottom: Purple Passate, Mythical, Ash Violet and Grape Mist.

Gorgeous card Joyce, you know I love that die!
ReplyDeleteRocking the purple Joyce! Love the added touch of the impression plate.
ReplyDeleteI love how the flowers compliment the paint chips...gorgeous Joyce!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love how you used that paint chip sample!
ReplyDeleteThe different shades of purple look lovely on your die cut blooms!
ReplyDeleteI am quite a fan of purple (my school colors) but don't use it enough on cards. Love how you used the different shades of purple. :)
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty purple Joyce!! Lovely card ;0
ReplyDeleteWow! I love it. The color I have the least of in my crafting stash is purple. Not due to a hatred of it... just don't have a lot of it. I remember when everyone started going ga-ga over paint chips. It is nice to see them still in action from time to time. This is such a gorgeous, crisp, clean card. Love the subtle texture of the background.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you've incorporated different shades of purple into this!
ReplyDeleteWOW,what a perfect way to use those purples! Me? I adore Purple (oops, even gave it a capitol letter so it must be good) but I rarely use it as a main colour on cards as there are so many shades and can sometimes be difficult. Using the multiple shades together is awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove how you created this card. So elegant
ReplyDeleteI thought that might be a paint chip peeking out from your card front...clever you! Those flowers are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow, Joyce, this is gorgeous ... fabulous idea to use the paint chips as a border panel ... wonderful with those gorgeous blooms! Anita :)

Now look at you...paint chip cards! Super creative...beautiful shades of purple...what a great cue word this week! You are doing such a good job on this design team Joyce...I agree with Marybeth...the bar is very high!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see that die I love it more. I guess I need to get it. The paint chip border is genius and the way it all goes together is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous card. I love the use of the paint chip as the border. The embossed background is wonderful and the die cut in variant shades of purple is beautiful. Love it!
